Americans should emulate the beloved corporations - stop paying taxes! |
|
Many corporations, as we know, pay no taxes. In fact, many of them get refunds. Yet, the lowly minimum wage worker is asked to pay taxes, albeit a very low amount. What would happen if the people simply said, we quit! We don't want to pay anymore taxes. After all, as the conservatives say, it's the people's money - not the governments. Well, we don't like our money going to Halliburton and other corporate criminals so we don't want to pay any more taxes to them. Suck the blood out of America at the expense of poor and working AMericans. Screw 'em!
